Bryant in ‘dark place,’ adviser says

Dez Bryant’s adviser told a Dallas radio station on Wednesday that the Cowboys wide receiver is in a “dark place” thanks to a growing mountain of legal troubles.

Bryant is facing two lawsuits seeking more than $850,000 for unpaid jewelry bills, loans and tickets to NFL and NBA games, according to the Associated Press.

“I talked to him yesterday and he wants to get past this,” David Wells told KESN-FM, according to ESPNDallas.com. “He wants to get all these deals past him and (gain) closure. He’s in a dark place in his life. Until you find that light, you’re going to continue to be in a dark place.”

Wells said Bryant is determined to repay the loans.

“He’s got a plan that he talked to me about yesterday, that he wants to move forward with,” Wells said.
